This is a very interesting conference with a deluge of new papers on the Y Chrosomone.Detailed studies from Flemish DNA, The Tyrol, The Alpine Region, Slovakia, Insights on Otzi and his haplogroup, Slavs and Corded Ware, Alpine Tribes, Piedmont, Next Gen Sequencing of the Y, the massive expansion of the Y Tree, the need to reform the naming convention, Rapidly Mutating Y STRs RM-STRs, Next Gen STRs NG-STRs and of course the Extreme Neolithic Expansion of R1b in Europe. Thanks for posting it. Here is a summary of extracts.

It must be R1b-M269 that he's taking about, because he says that it was all over Western and Central Europe by the late Neolithic.

I'm not great at ages for certain SNPs....

Hasn't anyone pointed out to him aDNA [from Neolithic) finds in Western Europe have been Haplotypes G and E?

He thinks there was a late neolithic migration (different from the first) into Western Europe which brought most of the r1b that survives in western europe. His evidence and reasoning is very lackluster, but he is nonetheless "convinced".

It is a common misunderstanding that language replacement should show up as a huge cultural or population change – that is not the case at all. For example the Gaelicization of Scotland is not perceivable in the archaeological records, according to Mallory.

Take the Norman invasion of Wales that only affected the top 10% of the population of Wales 90% were monoglot Welsh speakers up until the beginning of the Industrial revolution when a huge influx of people into the South Wales valleys occured.It was only then that the use of Welsh declined quite rapidly.
